To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Hanson H.

The headstall is cut or stamped in one piece, as shown in Fig. '2, and consists of the nosestrap a, the head-strap b, the throatstrap c, and strap (1 for supporting the halter.

The head strap bis provided with a buckle,

b, and the throat-strap with a buckle, c, by which they are lengthened and shortened to 25 correspond to different-sized heads.

Metal plates e are riveted to the stall where the nose and head straps join, in order to strengthen the parts, and on the rear side of the nose-strap is a slot, f, through which the 0 halter-strap is secured.

What I claim is In a halter, the combination, with the headstrap 1) and nosestrap a, of a single piece of leather, formed with a slot, f, in the rear part 3 5 of the nose-piece for the halter-strap, of metallic plates 6, adapted to strengthen the strap and lie flat upon their outer sides, and riveted both to the straps a and b, substantially as set forth. 40
